As I have gotten older I am more and more aware of the importance of what/where you focus determines the path you take.  A few years ago talking with a fellow classmate who has become my friend she asked me how I stay so positive with all that has happened in my life.  This isn’t the first time someone has asked me and honestly I never really understood it myself but it got me thinking.  I have always said to myself that no matter the situation there’s always a silver lining.  Read the scripture below:

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Give thanks in all circumstances.  Most of the time we don’t get to choose the situations but we always get to choose our response.  I love the phrase if things aren’t good then God’s not done.  So keep your focus on him and remember his truth for your life, his promise.  

When life is tough be thankful even if its the little things.
